Well, the games not out yet here in the UK (2morrow - HURRAH!), and there's already a patch being tested.

Here's the info taken from the LOMAC Official Forums.

Hello folks,

Today we got the first beta version of the patch, and for the most part, things are looking good. Work continues, but I wanted to drop you a quick note regarding some of the things that have been addressed. Please keep in mind that this list is not final and will not be a first and last patch. As to when it will be released… as soon as we possibly can.

Im just going through the training at the moment, flyings hard enough
But the game really is sweet Needs a lot of ram though if you wanna play on high settings.

Running fine on 512 here.

Puter reset itself today after some mid air combat :/ Think it overheated. All my millions of fans are fine too, rather odd.

Ive turned my settings down a bit and its fine now in regards to playability, i just got awful stuttering for a few seconds while approaching land, firing missles etc (ie when its loading new textures) with the high settings. Guess the old rad 9800 pro will have to wait till after christmas before i can get a new mobo, ram and cpu to feed it

It is a very very cpu / gpu intensive game. And in all honesty I doubt a top of the range PC could run everything at high and still get decent FPS. It certainly is future-proof.

Yes, especially water. As i always seem to be hurtling towards vast amounts of it very quickly
